Chapter 46 Rainy Season and Holidays
The farming season is about to begin, and the production team needs a lot of straw ropes. The rapeseed, rice and barley in the fields are waiting to be harvested and bundled.
A bundle of straw ropes is exchanged for one work point. With nimble hands and feet, I can collect a bundle in half an hour. Compared with the lesbians who worked under the bright sun all day long and only earned six or eight work points. , this job is an easy job, but for Lu Miao, it is not too grueling.
Although this work is not heavy, it is very tiring. When I am busy, straw foam and dust fly up to my body, which not only makes it unbearably itchy, but also makes me choke.
Lu Miao participated for two days. She felt like she had asthma when she slept at night. Her breathing was slightly blocked and she kept coughing. It was a respiratory infection caused by inhaling too much dust.
Ren Bingxin heard that she was hoarse from coughing, and worriedly advised:
"You can't do this, why don't you go to the field tomorrow? Discuss it with your aunt, and you can always arrange something easier."< br>
“The farming will be busy soon, everyone is rushing to harvest, how can there be any easy work?”
Lu Miao shook his head.
Now that the temperature outside during the day is gradually approaching 30 degrees, Lu Miao feels uncomfortable just in this weather. She really wants to be relaxed. She doesn't do any work and just lying in the room is the easiest.
Besides, if you don't show good performance now to improve your "attendance rate", then when the farm is really busy and you want to take time off to avoid being lazy, the appointment of the production team leader will be more objectionable.
Lu Miao is very clear about her positioning. She will definitely not be able to hold on on a hot day. It is better to show off now so that others can talk less later.
But having said that, if you still plan to twist the straw rope, you should really make some preparations, otherwise the scratching feeling in your throat will be uncomfortable enough.
As soon as the kerosene lamp in the room went out, Lu Miao stood up halfway, raised his head and looked at Ren Bingxin's bed.
It was so dark that nothing could be seen clearly, but it did not hinder communication. "Ren Bingxin, how is your needlework? I remember you brought needlework?"
"Yeah, didn't I pick up blisters for you last time?"
Lu Miao said "Oh" and quickly sat up, "As long as you have a needle and thread, Ren Bingxin, I need your help!"
Ren Bingxin said lazily, "What are you busy with?"
Lu Miao didn't say anything and let Ren Bing Xin lit the kerosene lamp, dug out a navy blue gown, and the two of them went to the main room together, "Let's go out and say, don't disturb them."
Lu Miao didn't touch the needle and thread, she felt Since Ren Bingxin brought these things, she must have some skills. She didn't ask for them to look good, just to be practical.
Passing the clothes to Ren Bingxin, Lu Miao described what she wanted to Ren Bingxin.
Actually, it’s just a mask and sleeves.
Ren Bing understood, but had some doubts about Lu Miao's arrangement, "Such a good gown is still new! Are you going to cut it?"
Lu Miao's throat It hurt and I didn't want to talk, so I nodded.
Ren Bingxin looked at her expression and knew that she was determined, so she stopped trying to persuade her, "I will take off these two sleeves and sew two masks for you on the upper part of the sleeves, and tighten the two ends on the lower part. , can you make a shorter sleeve?”
Ren Bingxin took off her sleeves and gestured to Lu Miao:
"This way, I can change the rest of the jacket for you when you have time and you can still wear it."
Lu Miao nodded, " Just look at the arrangement. If it’s not troublesome, then do as you say.”
A mosquito flew in front of him, and Lu Miao chased it and swatted it.
The kerosene lamp had limited brightness, and the mosquitoes quickly disappeared into the shadows. Lu Miao let out a "tsk" sound, feeling annoyed that she didn't hit the mosquitoes. Ren Bingxin looked at her as if she was deaf to what was going on outside the window. He looked so worried that he sighed. "If you were not in a hurry, you would have time to go to the town and buy two feet of fabric. Why do you have to dismantle such a good dress?"
“You also said you’re not in a hurry, but am I not in a hurry?” Lu Miao sat cross-legged on the long bench, holding her chin across the table to accompany Ren Bingxin, “If you listen to my voice, it’s like What's going on?"
Ren Bingxin sighed, speechless.
The masks and sleeves are simple little things, but due to the poor lighting and the carefulness of Ren Bingxin’s needlework, it took almost forty minutes to complete.
Lu Miao tried it on, and Ren Bingxin adjusted it for her on the spot if there was any inappropriateness. When everything was done, she held the sleeve of the mask and held up Ren Bingxin's arm to kiss her closely:
< br>
"Ren Bingxin, you are so kind! You saved me from fire and water!"
"I have always been very separate. You helped me a lot this time. Something good will happen later. I will designate the first one." I’m thinking of you!”
“What’s the big deal? Shouldn’t we help each other?” Ren Bingxin said with both hands. Holding on to the kerosene lamp, he was afraid that Lu Miao would knock him over, "Okay, it's awkward. Youjiao will have sex tomorrow and go to bed tonight!"
"What do you mean, Youjiao will have sex tomorrow? Okay, learn from Did you fall for Geng Xiaoyun’s trick?”
“Hahaha, no, stop scratching...”
They opened the door laughing and joking, the two of them lowered their voices knowingly, blew out the kerosene lamp, snickered softly, and each lay down on their own bed.
The wind picked up at night, and the trees and bamboos in front of the house and behind the house were rustling, and the windows also shook in the wind.
In a trance, there was the sound of raindrops falling on the roof tiles.
Lu Miao thought it was a dream, but when she woke up in the morning, she found that it had indeed rained last night and the temperature had dropped a lot.
Due to the hot weather, the quilt she had folded up to use as a pillow was shaken out again when she was sleeping. When she got up, the quilt was in a mess and wrapped around her waist.
Lu Miao didn't have the habit of getting up early. Gu Ying and the others usually got up first and called her by the way.
Today was a bit unusual. Not only did no one call her to get up, but the hall outside the door sounded quite lively. No one seemed to have gone to work.
After tidying up the bed, Lu Miao combed her hair and carried the toiletries out. She asked curiously, "Why didn't you go to work?" Gu Ying and others responded to her with a smile:
"Seeing that it is still raining heavily, the captain came over early in the morning and said that if it rains, we will have a holiday for two days."
Lu Miao was surprised, "Two days? So good?"
Geng Xiaoyun sat on the threshold and knocked off the heavy mud on the soles of his shoes, jokingly saying:
"Looking at you, do you think the captain is really so easy to give us a holiday? That's just because we don't succeed in our normal work. The rain designation is even worse, so that’s why we arranged it like this.”
“Whatever, it’s just a day off.”
Lu Miao puffed up her face proudly and ran to the kitchen to wash up. of water.
The rain has stopped in the morning, the sky is dark and drizzle is falling, and water is dripping from the eaves.
Lu Miao's eyes wandered as she squatted on the steps and brushed her teeth. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that there was someone standing on the path that turned from the pond on the right front side of the Educated Youth Point.
Squinting and looking carefully through the shadows of the trees, Lu Miao stood up reflexively.
Isn’t there just a person standing there?
Fu Jingyou, who disappeared for almost half a month, reappeared without warning!
